  How can I add space bewteen the widgets on my side bar? The widget titles on my blog are very close to the one ABOVE them, it looks very weird… at the same time, there is a huge space between the title of widget and its content. Like, I have the widget Categories, the title is close to the content of the widget above (Posts) and the content of the categories widget is very far from the title… Can I fix this? I am using Rubric theme and my blog is http://ivelise.wordpress.com/ Thanks.

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  I don’t think you can do this, unless you have the CSS Upgrade.

  You can try adding a blank widget in between them with some empty tags in it, but that would most likely be too much space.

  Add text widgets in between, and use this code in them:
  <div style="height:1.2em;"></div>
  You can adjust the amount of blank space by changing the number.

  Thanks panaghiotisadam, that worked well to put some space between different widgets! Any suggestion now to DECREASE the space between the title and contents of each widget? Thanks!!!

  Sorry, that’s not possible without the paid CSS upgrade and experience in CSS editing.

  For heights, widths, paddings, and margins use pixel units.

  For text, use ems, not pixel units.
